Design Considerations for LED Lighting Applications

Introduction
Lighting applications have grown dramatically from those supporting status indicators on front panels to a wide range of general and special purpose illumination applications. LEDs, due to their high reliability, low power, low heat output, precise and long lifetime lighting characteristics are rapidly replacing older lighting technologies. Designing lighting applications, using LEDs, is more involved than finding the latest and greatest LED. LED lighting systems are comprised of multiple subsystems: LEDs, LED drivers, thermal management, and optics- each interacting with the other to affect the system's overall performance. This application note will use several different applications examples to illustrate the various design considerations and trade-offs that are involved in modern LED-based lighting designs. These applications have been selected to illustrate a wide range of design considerations and in many cases more design details are available in reference designs, evaluation kits and other supporting documents. These documents and web sites are listed in the Reference section of this application note to make it easy to continue exploring topics of additional interest. Example Applications In order to cover a majority of the LED lighting design considerations we will look at several different designs. Backlighting designs are a key segment for LED lighting so we will look at an industrial display backlighting design. Solid state lighting, like that found in information display applications, is also a growing area where LED lighting is found so that will be another of our examples. A handheld device design and a computer controlled office space lighting application will finish out our set of example designs. Nu Horizons LED Lighting Solutions Nu Horizons has put together a full team of industry veterans from each of the LED lighting disciplines. Individually, each company offers 3) leading-edge products and services and outstanding customer support. Working together, the team offers comprehensive, cross-discipline design tools and educational opportunities. In order to better explain these capabilities, this application note also includes a summary of the various products, capabilities and specializations of the Nu Horizons team. Use this as a reference during product selection and as a roadmap to more detailed data during the design phase.

Small Footprint in Thermally Efcient Packages
Allegros A4982, A4984, A4985 and A4988 devices are complete microstepping motor drivers with a built-in translator for easy operation and overcurrent protection to reduce the rework cost in both manufacturing and normal operations. These devices require fewer external components and utilize a simple STEP and Direction interface. They are targeted at the office automation market. The A498x family is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, eighth and sixteenth step modes, with an output drive capacity of up to 35V and 2A. They include a fixed off-time current regulator which has the ability to operate in slow or mixed decay modes. The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the devices. Simply inputting one pulse on the STEP input drives the motor one microstep. There are no phase sequence tables, high frequency control lines, or complex interfaces to program. The interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened. Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided to improve power dissipation during PWM operation. Internal circuit protection includes: overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown with hysteresis, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), cross-conduction prevention. Special power-on sequencing is not required.

LTC5585 - Wideband IQ Demodulator with IIP2 and DC Offset Control

The LTC5585 is a direct conversion quadrature demodulator optimized for high linearity receiver applications in the 700MHz to 3GHz frequency range. It is also usable in the 400MHz to 700MHz and 3GHz to 4GHz ranges with reduced performance. It is suitable for communications receivers where an RF signal is directly converted into I and Q baseband signals with bandwidth of 530MHz or higher. The LTC5585 incorporates balanced I and Q mixers, LO buffer amplifiers and a precision, high frequency quadrature phase shifter. The integrated on-chip broadband transformer provides a single-ended interface at the RF input with simple off-chip L-C matching. In addition, the LTC5585 provides four analog control voltage interface pins for IIP2 and DC offset correction, greatly simplifying system calibration. The high linearity of the LTC5585 provides excellent spurfree dynamic range for the receiver. This direct conversion demodulator can eliminate the need for intermediate frequency (IF) signal processing, as well as the corresponding requirements for image filtering and IF filtering. These I/Q outputs can interface directly to channel-select filters (LPFs) or to baseband amplifiers.

LTC3600 - 15V, 1.5A Synchronous Rail-to-Rail Single Resistor Step-Down Regulator

The LTC3600 is a high efficiency, monolithic synchronous buck regulator whose output is programmed with just one external resistor. The accurate internally generated 50A current source on the ISET pin allows the use of a single external resistor to program an output voltage that ranges from 0V to 0.5V below VIN. The VOUT voltage feeds directly back to the error amplifier in unity gain fashion and equals the ISET voltage. The operating supply voltage range is 4V to 15V, making it suitable for dual lithium-ion battery and 5V or 12V input point-of-load power supply applications. The operating frequency is synchronizable to an external clock or programmable from 200kHz to 4MHz with an external resistor. High switching frequency allows the use of small surface mount inductors. The unique constant on-time architecture is ideal for operating at high frequency in high step-down ratio applications that also demand fast load transient response.

IC Family Reduces Switching Regulator

New Innovative Solution Enabling Unmatched PSRR Performance for Noise Sensitive Systems
The MIC94310 Ripple Blocker is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides low-frequency ripple attenuation (switching noise rejection) to a regulated output voltage. This is vital for applications where a DC/DC switching converter is required to lower or raise a battery voltage but where switching noise cannot be tolerated by sensitive downstream circuits such as in RF applications. The MIC94310 maintains high power supply ripple rejection (PSRR) with input voltages operating near the output voltage level to improve overall system efficiency. A low-voltage logic enable pin facilitates ON/OFF control at typical GPIO voltage levels. The MIC94300 is an integrated load switch that incorporates Micrel's Ripple Blocker active filter technology. The MIC94300 provides high-frequency ripple attenuation (switching noise rejection) for applications where a switching noise cannot be tolerated by sensitive downstream circuits such as in RF applications. A low- voltage logic enable pin disconnects the pass element and places the MIC94300 into a low current-shutdown state when disabled.

XL375 CC - 260 Watts without Fans

P OWER S U P P LI ES
Convection Cooling Option Delivers 260 Watts Without Fans
The new Convection Cooling Option for the XL375 family delivers 260 watts across all output voltages and eliminates the fans and fan controllers needed to cool conventional power supplies, saving cost and freeing up valuable component space. Doing away with fans and related components and circuitry is significant to designers tasked with increasing the MTBF and decreasing the noise of products (fans may fail, and they generate most of the audible sound in contemporary designs). OEMs can design in both convection-cooled and fan-cooled power supplies that use the same very compact, low profile 3.3 x 5 x 1.5 packaging, connectors and layout, saving time and cost. The very low profile packaging is ideally suited to 1U product designs and makes the system designers job much easier. The Convection Cooling Option gives OEMs a distinct packaging and cost benefit while also reducing overall power consumption and cooling requirements for applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications, gaming systems, security and surveillance systems, and network servers. Our unique technology gives OEM engineers new flexibility in power system design that pays real competitive dividends in their final products. All models also include Active Current Sharing to allow up to four supplies to be operated in parallel for high output applications. The Active OR-ing mosfet board option is available for N+1 applications. Both 5V standby and 12V auxiliary outputs can be wired Or-able when the main output is disabled. Synchronous rectification delivers exceptionally high efficiency: up to 93% in some models.

FEATURES:
Up to 93% efficiency High power density All outputs may be paralleled Remote On / Off 5V Standby (1A) 12V Aux output Universal AC input Active current sharing for N, N+1 (main output) OR-ing mosfet board option Active inrush current protection Active PFC (90 - 264 VAC)
